Tennessee Muslims With Radical Anti Jew/ Pro Palestine Activists

In the past few years, Muslims across Tennessee including Nashville, have supported, aligned with and appeared with well known radical Palestinian Jew haters. Many of these Muslims often speak of how they are victims. Today, the question must be asked do they stand with those same radical Palestinians?

Sabina Moyhuddin, Executive Director of The American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) Nashville with Linda Sarsour.

Who is Linda Sarsour?

Sarsour, is the head of the Arab American Association of NY (AAANY). She was born in New York after her parents, both Palestinians from the West Bank, immigrated to the U.S. still Identifying herself as a Palestinian-American, Sarsour’s platform of victimhood is two-fold: alleged abuses of Palestinians by Israel and American discrimination and Islamophobia directed at Muslims in the U.S.

Sarsour seeks out any and all opportunities to spread her Jew hatred. She founded “Muslims for Ferguson” once the riots started. Collaborating with Black Lives Matter (BLM), Dream Defenders, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), CAIR and others, she helped turn the Ferguson protests into an anti-Israel rally.

Sarsour spoke at AMP’s conference confirming her “unequivocal” support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement, and her disdain for Muslims who interface with pro-Israel Jews. AMP is a national extremist anti-Israel organization that helps train and support the college hate group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

She also sits on the advisory board of Dream Defenders (DD). One of DD’s founding members is Ahmad Abuznaid, another Palestinian. Unlike Sarsour who was born in New York, Abuznaid was born in East Jerusalem. He serves as DD’s legal and policy director.

Not surprisingly, DD asserts solidarity with Palestinians. Members of BLM and DD traveled to the “occupied” territories to spend time with a convicted terrorist who had served 17 years in an Israeli prison for planting bombs. Since that trip, DD has aligned more closely with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an organization that that advocates armed resistance whose members in the past have hijacked airplanes.

Daoud Abudiab, founder of Nashville based “Faith and Culture Center” has been the center of controversy before, as he attended the Muslim Brotherhood’s first convention in America with newly formed group The United States Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO). Also seen here below demonstrating for Palestine.

Several years ago, Awad admitted CAIR stands with Hamas movement. CAIR has been allowed to grow within the United States, and is seen as the nations largest Muslim civil rights organization.

Lets not forget Zulfat Suara, member at large on Nashville’s City Council. Here Ms. Suara loves to show her support and inspiration for Jew Haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib

Tennessee Muslims, joined by Representative Justin Jones have flirted with those that are now accepting the violence perpetrated on the Jewish people of Israel. We ask Sabina Moyhuddin, Daoud Abudiab, Nihad Awad, Zulfat Suara and Justin Jones do you accept the atrocities committed by Palestinians? Tennesseans want to know .

District 63 (formerly Glen Casada) – Please, No More State Legislators With Questionable Money Handling

Exchanging sexually demeaning text messages and the scandal it created was enough for Glen Casada to resign as Speaker of the House. But it was not enough for District 63 to reject him as their representative, choosing instead to re-elect him in 2020 to serve for two more years.

Sparing his district from further humiliation, but with stunning hubris, Casada, whose home was searched by the FBI for suspected ties to “shadowy” handling of campaign money, ran for Williamson County Clerk in the most recent primary. County voters handed him a resounding defeat.

Isn’t it time for voters in District 63 to clean up their act and elect someone who won’t continue to make Tennessee a national joke (watch video at end of post), and who demonstrates prudence when it comes to money?

District 63 candidate Laurie Cardoza Moore has put up a highly stylized campaign website that looks good and sounds good but ….?

In contrast, Republican candidate Jake McCalmon’s campaign website is straightforward, reflecting a no nonsense grassroots, self-made working man who has earned his money instead of living off donated funds like Moore does from her 501(c)3 Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN).

Moore describes herself as a homeschool mom but talks a lot about what she believes is going on in the state’s public schools. In contrast, McCalmon has three kids who right now actually attend his county’s public schools where he has a front row seat and a very personal investment.

Given the legacy of Casada which doesn’t appear to be over, District 63 voters should pay scrupulous attention to any money-handling information related to their next representative. For example, Moore’s non-profit organization PJTN 990’s raise reasonable questions.

The vast majority of money accumulated by Moore comes from donors which is then used by PJTN to employ Moore, her husband and her children.

Nashville Scene’s Betsy Phillips has also noticed Moore’s handling of her organization’s finances. While her 501(c)(3) shouldn’t show a “profit”, it has, however, proven more than profitable for Moore, and her family members. As Phillips notes, of the nine officers listed in the 2019 tax filing, Moore is the sole officer being paid, while “[t]he person who prepared the tax return and who is one of these officers was paid no salary.”

In time for the 2020 tax year the PJTN Treasurer received a $60,000 salary.

The 2019 tax filing shows Moore’s salary at $145,120, despite running a balance sheet of liabilities outstripping revenue. The following year Moore took approximately 12% of donated funds and increased her salary to $160,000, continuing to run a balance sheet of liabilities exceeding revenue.

Daughters Christina and Jessica have been paid as “contract labor” since 2011, while daughter Josephine moved from contract labor to a $47,876 salary beginning in 2019.

Moore’s husband, owner of MP Films, Inc., has likewise profited from the PJTN business. Tax filings between 2011 and 2020, show that MP Films, Inc. was paid over $700,000 for “production expenses”. But according to the Tennessee Secretary of State’s website, MP Films, Inc. was dissolved in 2009.

In 2020, Moore raised $1,360,051- almost all from donors. She paid herself $160,000, paid her husband’s business $97,301 and paid a total of $63,824 to employ three of her kids. In addition, she annually claims an “occupancy expense” which has been as high as $40,000 but a measly $36,484 in 2020. Phillips notes in her piece that Moore is using her “own nonprofit [to] pay[s] her this money to keep offices in a property she owns, like rent for having her own home office.” In PJTN’s early days, donor money also paid $15,445 in “rent and utilities” to Moore’s husband Stan who served as an officer of the organization.

In just one year, Moore’s “business model” paid out $421,433 to benefit her family. That amounts to 31% of donated funds going into the pockets of the Moore clan.

Another very serious question District 63 voters should address with Moore is the $150,000 loan made to its board chairman Stanley Tate. Despite Tate’s personal wealth, a sizable balance of the loan has not been repaid. According to Tennessee law, 48-58-303, non-profit corporations like PJTN are not supposed to “lend money to or guarantee the obligation of a director or officer of the corporation”.

Scattered through PJTN’s tax filings are amounts claimed for lobbying expenses, a chunk of which are not subject to tax. Moore’s 2017 claimed lobbying expenses of $86,000 presumably included her failed performance in front of a Tennessee House subcommittee. Despite lacking a credible factual foundation, Moore insisted that the University of Tennessee Knoxville campus was a hotbed of antisemitism driven by the campus’ Hamas related student groups. Three students from UTK, two Jewish and one Muslim, told legislators a completely different story sending Moore and her bill down in flames.

Moore’s stated positions on the issues posed on her campaign website are pretty standard fare from members in the General Assembly. Even her positions on Israel and antisemitism which have fueled her fundraising have long been the meat and potatoes of Tennessee Jewish Federations, the state’s Jewish community’s leader organization.

This year, leaders from the Jewish community worked with state legislators, many of whom are members of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest pro-Israel grassroots organization in the U.S., to pass two landmark bills; a pro-Israel bill and another pushing back on antisemitism. Both bills will help educate all Tennesseans about antisemitism. Nor are Moore’s “ideas” about law enforcement training in Israel new or unique – it’s already being done and it’s the same for increased trade relations with Israel.

Plenty of free money in “production expenses” and a home-based business has made it easy for Moore to promote herself on social media and youtube. After all, that’s what brings in the dollars. If elevated to public office though, will she manipulate a new promotional perch from which to financially enrich herself and her family?

After the Glen Casada fiasco, District 63 has an opportunity to rehabilitate itself by sending someone whose representative duties won’t be inextricably tied to their organizational fundraising and nepotism that provides jobs for her family.

Et Tu Jim (Cooper)?

Reprinted here with permission from our friends at the new “Jewish Nashville Uncensored” blog.

3,000-plus rockets targeting Israeli civilians was more than enough for U.S. House Republican supporters of Israel to attempt an expedited vote sanction U.S. designated terrorist groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and governments like Iran which support them.

It wasn’t enough, however, for Tennessee Democrats Rep. Jim Cooper and Steve Cohen to break with Democrats and instead, voted* to block bringing Florida Rep. Brian Mast’s Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act (H.R.261) bipartisanreauthorization bill to the House floor.

Tennessee Republicans DesJarlais, Rose, Kustoff and Burchett were all co-sponsors of Mast’s bill.

In a very narrow 217-209 vote on Tuesday, May 18th, all Democrats, including Cooper and Cohen, voted to block the move despite the same bill passing unanimously in the House in 2019 although the Senate failed to take up the bill at that time. With the House blocking the bill’s consideration, Rep. Mast, committed to standing with Israel, brought the bill back this session, stating:

“Hamas preaches the destruction of Israel and death to everything we hold dear in the United States. The recent attacks again show why we must cut off their financial support. But today 200 House Democrats backtracked on their previous support for this bill, and in doing so sent a clear message to the world that they stand with Radical Islamic terrorists like Hamas instead of with our ally Israel.”

Prior to the vote, Minority leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy made clear the importance of once again passing this bill – “[s]upport for Israel should remain a proud, bipartisan, but most of all, clear policy principle in Congress. As our greatest ally in the Middle East faces the most intense siege in 7 years, the House should make it clear to the world that we stand united in support of Israel.”

Today’s media out-of-control anti-Israel bias willingly adopted and spread the propaganda justifying Hamas’ attacks and villainizing Israel’s defense of its citizens – the same propaganda spread by Imam Bahloul in his recent Tennesseean oped. It’s the same propaganda used by Geraldo Rivera to condemn Israel in the name of Palestinian children in Gaza.

However, where are the voices of outrage for Israeli citizens terrorized by indiscriminately fired Hamas rockets? Who protects and speaks for Jewish children in Israel like the three little Fogel children, 11 year old Yoav, 4 year old Elad and their infant sister Hadas, who were murdered in their beds by Palestinian terrorists? The three boys kidnapped and murdered by Hamas? Hallel Yaffa Ariel?

CNN refused to call these acts of savagery terrorism even though the IDF had already said it was “an act of Palestinian terror.”

If this had happened in our country or our state, would our defense be more measured than Israel’s government? Would Nashville’s rabbis and imams who signed onto the “we may be opponents we need not be enemies” letter to the Observer in 2014 continue to stand by a slogan which trivializes Hamas’ vow to wipe the Jewish state off the map and BLM’s commitment to “dismantle the Zionist project”?

Opponents play games. Enemies, like Hamas, want to kill Jews. If the end goal is to destroy the Jewish homeland and kill all the Jews, what difference does it make whether you are an enemy or an opponent?

No amount or degree of appeasement and funding from the U.S. will convince Hamas and its fellow jihadists to abandon their raison d’etre. Since 1994, U.S. funding to the Palestinians has totaled more than $5 billion dollars “and has been a key part of U.S. policy to encourage an Israeli-Palestinian peace process, improve life for West Bank and Gaza residents, and (since 2007) strengthen the allegedly moderate West Bank-based PA vis-à-vis Hamas in Gaza. U.S. contributions to UNRWA through global humanitarian accounts since 1950 have totaled more than $6 billion.”

Predictably, the Biden administration is pledging billions to rebuild Gaza. Inquiring minds want to know: does this include the miles of tunnels and thousands of missiles that Israel destroyed? And much of the funding will Hamas control?

Viewed from this vantage point, Rep. Mast’s bill is not only timely, but overdue

Rep. Cooper is the June guest for lunch with the rabbi.

We suspect Cooper will have prepared a pat justification for his vote to block sanctioning Hamas and that no one will be permitted to question his explanation. “Progressive” Odessa Kelly has already announced her 2022 primary challenge for Cooper’s seat putting pressure on him to up his own progressive bona fides even if it means refusing to acknowledge the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization that ought to be condemned by anyone with a functioning moral compass.

Kelly was recruited and is being supported by the Justice Democrats organization which operates out of an address in Knoxville. This is the group which successfully installed and then expanded the anti-Semitic squad in Congress.

Tennessee’s 5th Congressional district voters who are committed to standing with Israel, there are options – Quincy McKnight and Robby Starbuck. While McKnight to date has been silent, Starbuck didn’t hesitate to remind his twitter followers that Hamas is a designated terrorist organization and in a recent podcast, demonstrated a fundamental understanding of the need for the U.S. to assist Israel in remaining safe and secure. Those who care about Israel and its six million Jews should take note of who stands with her when it counts.

*confirmed by the GOP Whip’s office, roll call 146 where the vote was 217-209, is the procedural vote which dealt with Rep. Mast’s bill.

Jew-Hating Demonstrators Alive & Well in Tennessee

Liora Rez, Executive director of StopAntisemitism.org puts it simply – “wherever anti-Zionism goes, anti-Semitism quickly follows.”

Nakba Day marches are now occurring across the country. ’Nakba’ is translated as “the catastrophe” and is what Palestinians label the reestablishment of the State of Israel. For anti-Israel agitators nakba day marks the supposed Zionist conspiracy to ethnically cleanse Palestine when the State of Israel was established. Not so; “[i]n reality, Nakba Day is a gross misrepresentation of history. The [Palestinian] refugees were created by the Arab Muslim desire to wage Jihad against the Jews.”

One anti-Israel protest march joined by the Nashville Peace & Justice Center (NPJC) was held in downtown Nashville on Wednesday, May 12; another organized by the Democratic Socialist of America was held in Knoxville on Saturday the 15th, and another is scheduled in Nashville for Saturday, May 21st. This one is being organized under the Samidoun umbrella by students from MTSU; NPJC is promoting it as well. These protests are not the first to take place in Tennessee, they are simply getting larger.

In 2014, Marxist Ash-Lee Henderson’s intersectionally-based anti-Jew protest was held in Chattanooga when she was an organizer with Concerned Citizens for Justice, a self-identified black liberation organization. “’We recognize that there is total intersection between what is happening to the Palestinian community overseas and what has happened with apartheid and Jim Crow to people who identify as African-American,’” said Ash-Lee Henderson, an organizer with Concerned Citizens for Justice.”

At the same time, Drost Kokoye, a co-founder and board member of Tennessee’s AMAC (American Muslim Advisory Council), in collaboration with the NPJC, led an anti-Israel counter-protest across the barricade from a pro-Israel rally.

Daoud Abudiab, another co-founder of AMAC and its first chairman, is a fellow traveler of Israel haters. Trying hard to portray himself as an interfaither with the singular agenda of creating a positive impression of Muslims through his “Our Muslim Neighbor,” (a project of Religions for Peace USA, an organization itself tied to Muslim Brotherhood organizations), Abudiab launched his Faith and Culture Center in 2014. Then his Center joined Nashville’s leftist collective to strategize with the emerging local BLM chapter. That was the same year that BLM leaders traveled to “occupied Palestine” and publicly announced their support for the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.

Coming out of the closet in his own way, Abudiab joined the Muslim Brotherhood organizations at the inaugural USCMO conference the same year the USCMO issued its “Washington Declaration”, an initiative intended to unite a globalized Islamist political force. The USCMO was founded by every major U.S.-based Jew-hating organization including CAIR, AMP (BDS leader American Muslims for Palestine), MAS – the Muslim American Society whose founder admitted that his organization was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Following his attendance at the USCMO conference, Abudiab amplified his anti-Israelism by choosing to support FOSNA’s (Friends of Sabeel North America) agenda. FOSNA attacks Christian Zionism, promotes the BDS campaign against Israel, and has teamed up with Black 4 Palestine to bring black churches and clergy into their Israel and Jew hate efforts.

FOSNA remains on the Anti-Defamation League’s top ten list of anti-Israel organizations in the U.S.

In 2015, Daoud Abudiab chose to speak at FOSNA’s 2015 conference which in the course of pretending to be focused on a “struggle for a just peace” offered a panel discussion on BDS, a key component of which is right of return for alleged Palestinian refugees.

Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the BDS campaign made it clear in 2010, and again, more recently, that the goal of BDS and return of alleged Palestinian refugees, is to eliminate Israel. He expressly rejects a two-state solution and says that a Palestinian right of return is the way to end Israel as a Jewish state.

Not long after joining up with FOSNA, Abudiab shared his Israel animus on facebook. He posted an article titled Court Says Israel Owns Jaffa House Because Arab Family Members Left in 1948, along with his comment – “injustice ignored is never forgotten. What goes around comes around one day!”

That day arrived this week based in part on the excuse of Israel’s Supreme Court preparing to hear an appeal in a dispute over four houses in the Sheik Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem. Much like the housing dispute case posted by Abudiab, the Sheik Jarrah cases are “not about forcing [Palestinian-Arab] families from their home. [Sheik Jarrah] involves a years-long process of owners suing tenants whose leases have expired, or in a few cases, suing squatters with no tenancy rights at all; the owners are simply asking for their rent to be paid.”

Neither the timing of the “religion of peace” Ramadan period nor the truth about the housing dispute stopped Hamas and Arabs unprovoked violence against Jews. Hamas fired over a thousand missiles and rockets into Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ashdod, Beersheba, Ashkelon, communities bordering on Gaza, killing Israeli citizens, wounding many others, destroying properties, setting the Trans-Israel pipeline on fire and terrorizing countless Israelis. On Monday, Hamas managed to kill 17 Palestinians with their own rockets falling short and landing in Gaza.

Along with the unprovoked missile attacks there was an escalation in Arab pogroms in Jerusalem, Lod, Jaffa, Bat Yam, Haifa, and Tiberias, destroying Jewish properties and setting fire to multiple synagogues, attacking worshipers at the Western Wall with rocks, and attempting to lynch Jewish motorists.

Back in Nashville, The Tennessean paper published a factless and arrogant op-ed about the violence in Israel and the “destruction of sacred places” written by Imam Ossama Bahloul resident scholar at the Islamic Center of Nashville. For example, Bahloul suggests that “Jewish settlers” have caused violence at the Al Aqsa mosque while deliberately ignoring the attack on Jerusalem Day celebrants with “slabs, stones and fireworks” which had been stockpiled by Palestinians at the Al Aqsa mosque for this purpose:

“Critics of Israel, and the international media, have portrayed the recent clashes on the Temple Mount, which Muslims call Haram esh-Sharif, as if Israel had attacked the mosques or violated their sanctity. In fact, Israeli riot police entered the holy site to stop Palestinians from launching new attacks from the compound after they did so after prayers on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan last week.”

2009 Murfreesboro – Bahloul protesting “war in Gaza’ in support of Hamas

Will biased media, revisionist history narratives and irrational hatred of Jews and Israel make certain places in Tennessee less safe for Jewish people? Jewish people are being openly attacked by pro-Palestinian thugs shouting Allah Akbar and BLM rioters have targeted Jewish neighborhoods. In Tennessee, AMAC’s program attacking Zionism didn’t hesitate to feature Highlander Center director Ash-Lee Henderson who is all in with BLM anti-Semitism.

How far do they plan to take it in Tennessee?

Update on the Jesus Exhibition, the Sponsoring Organization & ICT’s new Imam

See how cowed the press is? So afraid of offending Islamists that they don’t even bother to tell you about what should be real concerns about the iERA organization which is the creator and sponsor of the traveling Jesus Exhibition.

Actually, the press, especially in Nashville, has forever been nothing more than an apologist propaganda machine for Islamists.

This coming Saturday, November 9, the ICT is opening for the public, the iERA’s (Islamic Education and Research Academy) traveling Jesus Exhibition.https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/islamic-center-of-tennessee-we-muslims-love-jesus-but-its-okay-to-denigrate-and-when-necessary-persecute-christians/

ICT’s imam, Anwar Arafat works with the UK-based iERA to fight Islamophobia. He is the imam promoting the iERA and its work, first in Memphis and now in Nashville.

And as expected, neither Arafat, leaders of the ICT or the Islamist apologist Tennessean paper have disclosed any of the controversy surrounding iERA due to actions and statements made by the organization and some of its representatives.

Among other things, iERA has been banned from University College London due to having attempted to establish gender segregated seating during iERA events. The Daily Telegraph wrote that the iERA was being investigated by the Charity Commission: “amid allegations that its leaders promote anti-Semitism and have called for homosexuals and female adulterers to be stoned to death”.

The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain issued a fairly extensive report about iERA titled, “Evangelising Hate: Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA).”

Bilal Philips is discussed extensively in the report and noted as having an advisory relationship with iERA. Philips is a Canadian Muslim teacher, speaker, and author who currently lives in Qatar, having “converted to Islam in the early seventies after journeying politically and intellectually from Christianity to Communism.”

He disputes many of the claims made about him in the report including being denied entry into certain countries. In 2014, it was reported in connection with his deportation from the Philippines, that he “has been barred from entering Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Kenya and as of June, Bangladesh. Germany expelled Philips in 2011 after officials there claimed he advocated killing homosexuals. His books, some of which have been banned in countries such as the Czech Republic, advocate against Western dress and music.”

This just goes to show how much more tolerant we are in Tennessee because absolutely nothing happened to Awadh Binhazim who during his tenure as the volunteer Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt, told a student gathering that Islamic law mandates capital punishment for homosexuality. When he was asked whether he accepted or rejected the Islamic punishment for homosexuality, Binhazim also confirmed, that “as a Muslim he does not have a choice of whether to accept or reject what Islam teaches.”

Binhazim was first very involved with the Islamic Center of Nashville, serving on its shura board (a consultative body which implements Sharia law), but moved on to co-found the ICT to help ring the city with mosques. Binhazim is aggressive in Islamic dawa (prosletizing), promoting Shariah as an immutable and politically dominant way of life, and freely associates with Muslim Brotherhood organizations.

And dawa – getting the poorly informed interested in considering becoming a Muslim, is what the iERA exhibit is really about. The typical and quite frankly, worn-out and unsubstantiated claim of Islamophobia is used as the justification for the amped up dawa in Middle Tennessee.

And no space is spared – how about the Southern Festival of Books???? Free Korans and as much dawa as you want to go with it compliments of the ICT.

Before taking up his position with the ICT, Imam Anwar Arafat was the imam at the sizable mosque Masjid Ar-Rohman in Memphis. Before that, he was an imam in Utah. His bio says he “has studied in Gaza, Palestine, Kuwait, and the United States.”

Arafat actually spent his teen years in Gaza where he attended Al Karmel high school which maintains an “interesting” facebook page with lots of “interesting” pictures like these:

Of course, having your picture taken with the Yasser Arafat, leader of the terrorist Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and referred to in some circles as the “father of modern terrorism,” must have been thrilling for the young Anwar who posted this picture of the two of them:

The Gaza strip where young Anwar received a complete education, is controlled by HAMAS, a U.S. designated terrorist organization – just where you send a kid from Utah.

The all grown-up Arafat is the typical Islamist activist. For example, like many of the community Islamist agitators we have in Tennessee, he served as president the MSA at the University of Utah. He was also a cofounder of the Muslim Community Center of Utah.

In 2015, he hosted a Memphis AMAC (American Muslim Advisory Council) fundraiser with Samar Ali and Paul Galloway (a former CAIR leader working for AMAC in Tennessee).

In May 2019, Arafat was the guest speaker at former Mayor David Briley’s Muslim Community Recognition Day to pitch elevating work with AMAC as a way to address the scourge of Islamophobia. The following week Arafat started as the new imam at the ICT.

ICT makes “interesting” picks for their imams, several of which have trended toward the Jew-hating type.

Abdullah Al Ansari – “He [Allah] told us to fight the Jews and Christians. Fight them until they give jizya. They give this protective tax from their hands and they are humiliated and subdued. If Islam, true Islam and true Muslims do not rule there will never be justice.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fixcwOGaco8 (at 5:12 and almost word for word Koran 9:29; Reliance of the Traveller o9.8 – Objectives of Jihad p.602).

In 2017, ICT’s imam AhmedulHadi Sharif was preaching about the “enemies of Allah” as he referred to Jews in Israel.

It will be interesting to hear what Arafat adds to the ICT fabric given his own indoctrination during his time in anti-Jew strongholds.

Muslims Are “Destroying From Within” Just Like They Said..

The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable

Sun Tzu

In 2004 in Annandale VA, FBI agents raided the home of Ismail Elbarasse, who was detained on an outstanding material witness warrant issued in Chicago in connection with fundraising for Hamas. This raid was in preparation for the Holy Land Foundation trial, held in Dallas TX, targeting members of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Located in a sub-basement in Elbarasse’s home were over 80 boxes of documents related to the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. One of the most important documents entered as evidence in this federal trial, was titled “ An Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”.

This document is the playbook for the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal for the United States, and this excerpt says it all: The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

We, the citizens of America have been handed the script of an enemy, but millions have chosen to ignore it rather than read it, embracing this enemy under the guise of their “religion”. America, you have been played, as every day the enemy continues to do exactly what they outline in their manifesto.

In section 4, the point of becoming part of the homeland as stable and rooted, is obtaining the “keys” and tools.

Those keys and tools are the formation of organizations and individuals that will utilize our system and rights to embed themselves in politics, education, law enforcement, military, and faith centers.

The following are the tools they describe to accomplish their goal:

Dawa: the proselytizing of Islam. Examples of Dawa are interfaith events held at churches and synagogues, lectures on “bullying”, and classroom education on “Your Muslim Neighbor” Anywhere a Muslim can “educate” non-Muslims about Islam is dawa. Some groups associated with dawa are the Islamic Network Group (ING) in CA, the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) in TN, the Faith and Culture Center (FCC) in TN, and Connecting Cultures LLC, in Maryland.

One of the most invasive, infiltrated areas in the United States is the government. In Islam, the only laws created, and adhered to are from Allah. Muslims do not believe in man made legislation, which includes the Constitution, Bill of rights, or penal laws. This is why you will see Muslims elected to office in America, take their oath of office on a Quran rather than the bible. They are swearing allegiance to their doctrine and no other.

In fact, Muslims have formed the first Muslim pollical party in America..the United States Council of Muslim Organizations. (USCMO) This party is represented by all Muslim Brotherhood groups present in America, such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) aka Hamas, and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Members of this Muslim political party includes Keith Ellison, attorney General of Miinesota, and Congressman Andre Carson.

Within the past year, this is a sample of offices won by Muslims

Understand, in order to effect change, Muslims must have large population numbers, and be in positions of power to do so. Being elected to government seats, is certainly a position of power.

Coming up in Part Two, more organizations infiltrated and created to further their “destroying from within”

Keep CAIR Out of Tennessee!

For those unfamiliar with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the following one minute and thirty seven second video sums it all up.

So why should Tennesseans care?

Do not be fooled by CAIR’s public promotion of being a Muslim civil rights organization, they are nothing more than a front group for a terrorist organization whose goal is the Islamization of society.

On July 5th, Ahmed Shqeirat, an imam from the Islamic Community of Tempe Arizona, came to Memphis TN to ask for support in helping fight “Islamophobia”.Ahmad Shqeirat is one of the 6 imams involved with the Flying Imamsincident at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on November 20, 2006.

In an articleabout Shqeirat it was reported “I was struck by the political nature of his sermons. He repeatedly criticized both U.S. domestic and foreign policy and often exaggerated Muslim victimization. He advocated political unification of Muslims internationally and blamed the United States, Israel, and the West for perceived slights. He called for the political empowerment of Muslims in American society.

On camera, Shqeirat invokes his desire for a global Islamic state, which he claims “is not a threat to anybody…. Establishing Islamic law was a positive experience.”

On Friday, April 6, 2007 Shqeirat attended a rally in support Rafil Dhafir, who is currently serving 22 years in federal prison for raising millions of dollars and funneling it to “charities” in Iraq through the Holy Land Foundation in addition to diverting $300,000 for his private use.

Shqeirat is executive secretary of the North American IMAMS Federation, which is tightly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

While CAIR has remained in the background of many incidents here in Tennessee, the groundwork for them has been laid by the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), who unfortunately was legitimized and supported by the Haslam administration. AMAC, who claims to be a bridge builder uses “religion” as a guise to infiltrate all areas of local politics,education, and law enforcement. Members of AMAC, continue to promote CAIRS agenda by running for various political positions, and lobbying for open borders, and rights for illegals.

Because AMAC has made itself appear like a moderate, Muslim organization, run by pious individuals, their ability to gain sympathy and support throughout Tennessee has grown. AMAC undoubtedly will use their influence to introduce CAIR as their partner and ally against what they falsely claim as islmophobia in Tennessee.

CAIR has vowed to have over 100 Muslim “groomed” to be able to run for political offices on all levels in 2020. With AMAC being an ally of CAIR, it isn’t hard to understand why member of AMAC Zulfat Suara is running for an at large seat on the Nashville Metro Council. Suara, who is Nigerian born, recently made statements her religion was under attack, a typical move by Muslims who claim Islamophobia is rampant in Tennessee. While riding on her new found sympathy, once again Suara showed her true colors for the United States, by repeatedly holding the American flag upside down while attending a fourth of July event.

It isn’t about being part of America, accepting the laws, and assimilating, its all about the power to influence and effect change. What groups like AMAC can’t accomplish with sympathy, CAIR will accomplish with law suits.

Keep in mind, CAIR’s ultimate goal is that of Hamas’..the Islamization of society. If they can take the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”, the rest of the country will fall easy.

AMAC (TN American Muslim Advisory Council), is CAIR’s Tennessee Chapter

AMAC’s goals and tactics for achieving the goals of political Islam is the same as CAIR’s. Neither can be distinguished from the other.

In 2011, when AMAC was launched, four it’s board members also established AMAC’s lobbying arm, the American Center for Outreach (ACO). The four AMAC board members also served as the officers and board for the ACO.

Their first act of political push-back was to bring CAIR’s lawyer Gadeir Abbas to the capitol to oppose the material support anti-terrorism bill.

From the beginning, the AMAC-ACO duo as organizations and as individual members, have been partnering with CAIR undeterred by the fact that CAIR, a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood, serves as a front organization for HAMAS. Nor is there any concern that CAIR pushes a virulent anti-Israel agenda. Nor have AMAC-ACO members been concerned about CAIR’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and to “Islamic extremism and terrorism.”

Former CAIR state directors have either help lead the AMAC-ACO group, partnered with its members, or been brought to Tennessee to train Muslim teenagers into political Islam activism.

AMAC-ACO CAIR-linked activism is being executed in Tennessee via seemingly unobjectionable motives such as “preventing discrimination and bullying”, “countering prejudice”, “correcting misinformation”, “supplementing school curriculum”, dawa (proselytizing Islam) by providing “cultural” presentations especially to school and church groups, interfaith dialogue, and promoting religious freedom. All result in silencing any and all critical analysis of political Islam’s true intentions for the kafirs of Tennessee.

In lockstep with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood plan, AMAC-ACO works to insinuate Islamic values and customs in a gradual, yet comprehensive manner to displace our Judeo-Christian foundation.

For all intents and purposes, CAIR is HAMAS

CAIR was started with money from the Holy Land Foundation Islamic charity and was planned to be a public relations and recruiting arm in the U.S. for the terrorist group “HAMAS” (an acronym for “Islamic Resistance Movement”).

CAIR’s co-founders Nihad Awad, Omar Ahmad, and Rafeeq Jaber, all were previously tied to the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) started by senior HAMAS operative Mousa Abu Marzook.

The IAP is listed in the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood plan as one of the “organizations of our friends”. The plan is titled, An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America. (English translation begins on page 16) and is stated plainly – destroy Western civilization (p.21 of the translation).

This document was entered into evidence and authenticated during the the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial, the biggest and most successful terrorism financing prosecution in the U.S. Five HLF leaders were convicted for providing material support in the form of $12 million dollars, to help the terrorist group HAMAS eliminate the State of Israel.

In 1997, the U.S. designated HAMAS as a foreign terrorist organization.

CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that CAIR’s status as an unindicted co-conspirator would stand since the government had extensive evidence tying CAIR to HAMAS.

The ADL website confirms CAIR’s Muslim Brotherhood and HAMAS ties. It also cites CAIR among the Top 10 Anti-Israel groups in the U.S.:

“CAIR also continues to offer a platform to conspiratorial Israel-bashers and outright anti-Semites. For example, CAIR’s Florida chapter operates a Web site that makes anti-Semitic material available for visitors interested in learning about Islam. CAIR also organizes anti-Israel rallies during which protestors and speakers engage in anti-Semitic rhetoric, use offensive Holocaust imagery likening Jews and Israelis to Nazis, and express support for terror groups.”

In Tennessee, for example, in 2013, under the ACO umbrella, CAIR- Michigan director Dawud Walid was brought in to train Muslim high school students in political Islam activism. Dawud Walid has declared CAIR’s role as being “defenders of the Palestinian struggle.” While he downplays the terrorist group al-Shabaab as a group “that’s been involved in a lot of fighting,” he reminds his audiences that Jews “incurred the wrath of Allah.”

Zulfat Suara an AMAC co-founder and chair until just recently, has publicly declared her idol worship for CAIR endorsers Ilhan Omar, a former CAIR-Minnesota advisory board member and Rashida Tlaib. Both Omar and Tlaib assist CAIR in fundraising. Suara has not condemned either Omar or Tlaib’s anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.

To the contrary and for her part, under Suara’s leadership, AMAC helped normalize anti-Semitism in Tennessee.

A Sampling of the AMAC-ACO-CAIR partnership in Tennessee

2011 – ACO brings CAIR lawyer to speak against the material support anti-terrorism bill brought after the jihad committed by Memphian and Muslim convert Carlos Bledsoe.

2012 – ACO director who helped organize AMAC, attends CAIR banquet and begins relationship with virulent Jew hater Linda Sarsour. Four years later, AMAC features Sarsour at an event on intersectionality.

2012 – AMAC co-founder and co-chair Daoud Abudiab collaborates with former CAIR-Austin director Awadh Binhazim (he’s the former Vanderbilt volunteer chaplain who admitted publicly that Islam requires death to gays).

2012 – CAIR co-founder and Executive Director Nihad Awad, public supporter of HAMAS, attends opening of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.

2012 – AMAC member Kasar Abdullah and CAIR Legal Director, invited by MTSU’s Muslim Student Association to present together about “Combatting Islamophobia.”

2013 – CAIR-Michigan Director Dawud Walid trains Tennessee Muslim students in political activism.

2013 – AMAC organizer Remziya Suleyman, is a featured speaker at CAIR-Arizona event.

2014 – CAIR tries to help AMAC-ACO members shut down Knoxville presentation on political Islam by Dr. Bill Warner.

2014 – Following CAIR’s lead, AMAC co-founder and Board member Drost Kokoye leads anti-Israel pro-HAMAS rally at Legislative Plaza.

2014 – Former CAIR-Houston Director, Paul Iesa Galloway is hired to lead ACO and assist AMAC.

2016 – Former AMAC co-chair Daoud Abudiab attends first conference of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) co-founded by CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

Daoud Abudiab of Columbia, TN attends USCMO. He is former AMAC founder and co-chair; now exec. dir of Faith & Culture Center in TN

2016 – AMAC and CAIR jointly call for hate crime investigation in Murfreesboro alleged road rage incident.

2018 – CAIR “working with our allies here on the ground in Nashville, AMAC,” bullies Trevecca University into canceling an event (afraid the truth would get out???) featuring John Guandolo, Cathy Hinners and Bill Warner.

2019 – AMAC co-founder Zulfat Suara who has led AMAC since 2012, recently resigned in order to run for an at-large seat on the Davidson County City Council. If elected, CAIR will have a proxy embedded in the Metro Nashville government.

It’s no surprise that Samar Ali is picking up the threads of her father’s anti-Jew agenda by helping anti-Semite embracer Zulfat Suara, get elected to the Metro Nashville City Council.

Tennessee Star’s political editor Steve Gill says “Samar Ali is a superstar.”

See the rot from within???

Is It Only a “Religious Thing” Until Changes Are Made ?

In 2011, at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood TN, a young Muslim girl, Demin Zawity, created a stir due to her not being able to wear her hijab while participating in the ROTC program. “It was during Spirit Week. We were getting ready for the homecoming parade and the head officer said that I wouldn’t be able to wear the head scarf while I had the uniform on,” Demin said.

“I said that it was a religious thing and that I really couldn’t take it off.”

Demin’s family believed she was being discriminated against, and reached out to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which called on the school district and the Department of Defense to change the policy.

CAIR later wrote to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta requesting “constitutionally-protected religious accommodations for the girl and for future Muslim JROTC participants.”

In a letter CAIR sent on Panetta’s behalf, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Larry Stubblefield explained that based on the incident that led Zawity to quit JROTC, the Army will now be making more accommodations for religious headwear in the training program.

There you have it. A Muslim complains she is being discriminated against, they call CAIR/Hamas, and change is made, all due to Ms. Zawity claiming it was a “religious thing”.

So why after 5 years did Ms. Zawity stop wearing her “religious thing “ she really couldn’t take off ? The answer lies in the above excerpt from this article https://www.deseretnews.com/article/700196865/Army-agrees-to-review-discriminatory-rule-against-Muslim-head-scarfs.html

It’s all about change. Altering policies to accommodate Muslims. The below picture is Demin Zawity in 2011 when she was claiming discrimination

In 2016, 2017, 2018, and even in 2019, Ms. Zawity apparently no longer feels that “religious thing” means the same after the United States Military made changes to their head gear policy.

It is amazing how that “religious thing” lasted long enough for the United States Military to change its policy.

AMAC Board Member Welcomed Anti-Semites Ilhan Omar and Rep. Pramila Jayapal to Nashville

It’s looking more and more like 2016 was the start of TN’s American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) love affair with anti-Semites. 2016 was the year that anti-Semite Linda Sarsour was featured at an AMAC event. That same year Ilhan Omar and her radically progressive anti-Semite defender, Pramila Jayapal were brought into AMAC’s circle of friends.

2016, was the year Omar was elected to the Minnesota state legislature and Jayapal moved up from the Washington state legislature to the U.S. House of Representatives.

This is the same year that AMAC’s Board member, Somali agitator Mohamed Shukri Hassan, welcomed Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal to a home-based gathering in East Nashville.

Shukri Hassan met Jayapal and Omar in Nashville

Shukri Hassan attended the January 10, 2019, meeting with Governor-elect Lee.

Like Omar, Shukri Hassan got into the U.S. via the refugee resettlement program. Both of them grew up benefitting from the goodies generous Americans make available to refugees. Yet both of them are steeped in disdain for this America and American conservatives who ascribe to Judeo-Christian principles.

In fact, sharia adherent Omar and Hassan hate us so much that they have devoted their lives to changing our country.

Before launching her legislative career, Ilhan Omar was a board member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s CAIR-Minnesota organization. Shukri Hassan was president of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) while he was a student at TN State University. The MSA was one of the first Muslim Brotherhood organizations established in the U.S.

Being an anti-Semite comes naturally to sharia and Muslim Brotherhood followers.

CAIR’s connections to U.S. designated terrorist group HAMAS have been established with credible evidentiary documentation in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism prosecution. Since its founding, HAMAS has remained committed to a singular purpose – the elimination of the State of Israel and genocide for its Jews through violent jihad.

A lawsuit revived in federal court last year has exposed details about the connections of the U.S. HAMAS support network and certain Islamist organizations including the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). It was the leaders of IAP who founded CAIR.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director has stated publicly that he supports HAMAS. Prior to forming CAIR, Awad was the president of IAP.

AMAC’s Shukri Hassan arrived in Tennessee in 2006. His mother was the first to arrive in the U.S. as a refugee and was resettled in Georgia. After Shukri Hassan and his six siblings were able to join her, they all relocated to Tennessee.

Shortly after finishing high school, Shukri Hassan joined TIRRC (TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition) to learn the ins and outs of being a leftist agitator and working as a “Welcoming TN Coordinator” speaking to Chambers of Commerce and Rotary clubs.

At the same time, Shukri Hassan worked as an Outreach Coordinator for the Metro Public Health Department as a caseworker for the now-defunct Center for Refugees & Immigrants of Tennessee (CRIT).

CRIT was originally named the Somali Community Center but changed its name after its Executive Director, Abdirizak Hassan pled guilty to federal grant fraud. The federal charge relates back to his indictment in 2001 for felony illegal banking. Prior to serving as ED of the Somali Community Center/CRIT, Hassan ran a hawala money changing business which counter-terrorism investigators was linked to a bank service linked to al-Qaeda.

Before Shukri Hassan began serving as a Board member and the Program Director for AMAC, he took a fellowship with AMAC’s sister organization, the American Center for Outreach (ACO). The ACO
was started by a Kurdish refugee who was a former lobbyist for TIRRC.

After she left, ACO was led by former CAIR director, Paul “Iesa” Galloway.

AMAC may not call itself CAIR, but it operates same way using the same tactics.

U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal who traveled with Ilhan Omar to the house party in East Nashville, has a special soft spot for Somalis like Omar and Shukri Hassan.

Before she got into politics, first as a state Senator and then polluting the U.S. House of Representatives with her radical progressive politics, she led a leftist organization called the Hate Free Zone Campaign of Washington (state). In 2003, under her leadership, the organization stopped the deportation of Somali criminals and visa overstayers in the U.S.

Incredibly, the judge in the case remarked that “the government had provided no concrete evidence to support the notion that al-Qaida is active in Somalia, or that there is any connection at all between the Somalis and terrorism.”

FBI statistics show that the district Ilhan Omar represents in Congress, has the highest rate of terrorist recruitment in the United States.

Like Omar, Jayapal is a strident and shrill opponent of President Trump and his policies about importing more refugees from terror-prone countries.

Jayapal is currently the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) which Ilhan Omar joined as soon as she was elected to the U.S. House.

It was through the arm-twisting efforts of the CPC and the Black Congressional Caucus that forced Pelosi to allow the anti-semitism resolution to be highjacked away from Omar’s relentless Jew-hating speech so that she and her fellow Islamists somehow became the victims.

Only 23 Republicans – none from Tennessee by the way – had the moral and political fortitude to vote against the resolution.

Across the board, Tennessee Republican House members voted FOR a resolution that legitimized the myth of Islamophobia, avoided any condemnation of Ilhan Omar, and deflected from the bigger problem of anti-Semitism.

Tennessee Republicans that voted FOR the resolution (because they were too scared to be called racists?) – Tim Burchett, Scott DeJarlais, Chuck Fleischmann, Mark Green, David Kustoff, Phil Roe and John Rose.

Do these guys have any idea what’s really going on in their own state?????
